    Speaking of post count... When comes the transition from Maha Guru to Ancient Guru... And what the hell does Maha mean ?

    The friends and family of those serving - or worse, killed - in Afghanistan, Iraq or one of the world's other hotspots would probably like to point out that much of the western world is at war at the moment.

    Einstein was an absolute genius but no one has the power of foresight.

    Speaking of war... I know this isn't the best place to start this discussion but... does anyone actually know why half the western world is involved in Iraq/Afghanistan ? I've grown so used to knowing its there that I don't even remember the actual reason :S

    For Iraq, regime change and (falsified) reports of weapons of mass destruction and depending on who you ask - oil.

    For Afghanistan, we're fighting the Taliban and the over-arching aim is to try and catch Bin Laden. My best friend is half way through his second tour of Afghanistan, though many people have become complacent about our involvement he thinks you only have to see how much the locals appreciate the troops' being there to realise we're at least making some difference.

    But I digress, and the thread will probably get locked.

    Citation needed. Because this isn't true.
    worth noting that on March 10, 1945, 100,000 people were killed by the conventional bombing of Tokyo. That is more than Nagasaki (including long term) and possibly more than Hiroshima depending on the estimate you like (and more than the instant deaths of 80,000).
    This was going to be a war of attrition. The only thing that stopped it sooner was that the Japanese realized we could kill as many people with a single bomb as thousands.

    Afghanistan and Iraq are not nuclear powers. They also had no real army, or anything whatsoever. So while it is a "war", it's not a true war in comparison to wars of the past. I'm talking about mass scale global conflict, which simply doesn't happen anymore.

    As far as equations go. Sure, the mass energy equivalency was bound to be realized somehow. Most important...ehhhh it's useful for converting matter to energy. how to accomplish it was on many many scientists.

    Now, an even better set of equations are just as simple and have more reaching implications...such as:

    Bell's Theroem
    Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle
    Mandlebrots Equation

    For far reaching into the depths of thought, consciousness and using them to greater understand our own existence these equations offer a far wider potential to positively affect humanity.

    Nice thought Wicky, I respect you. But your connotations are a little skewed and tangented in the wrong direction.

    Was he stupid? No.

    More importantly, I could take him in a fist fight.

    Well, since you asked; Monsanto, the corporation that's putting all the GMOs, HFCS, artificial sweeteners, etc. in our food supply, played a very large part in the manufacturing of the first atomic bomb! Then DDT, PCBs...it's all about the almighty dollar - always has been - always will be, until the cashless society takes over.

    It means great but carries additional cultural context. I don't speak the language so that's as much as I know.

    why invent anything then? guns instead of swords.. kill someone from a distance with a sniper while hiding in a safe place instead of going Samurai, flying...airplanes crashes and kills 320 passengers instantly why fly then if there's a risk, why sell fast cars such as ferrari when someone might drive it around like a maniac (perhaps drunk) and kill someone and himself?

    every single thing in this world carries a risk including the stuff you drink and eat (choke on a piece of meat, cut your finger while slicing the tomatoes), why build computers and rely on machines to launch nuclear missiles and calculate asteroids trajectories (perhaps saving lives) when the computers themselves are prone to viruses, bugs and faults?

    Einstein was a genius, the real fault lies in the ignorants who abuse their powers and the great gifts that geniuses put in their hands to do evil, even without those invention humanity is going to self destruct, this is one of those cases where ignorance is NOT a bliss.

    Would have been discovered later on just not by us. I believe two sides were working on a same project.

    When I think nukes I think of the Manhattan Project not Einstein.
